Natal & Neonatal Teeth - Tooth Fairy: Best Pediatric Child Dental Clinic In Hyderabad

Natal & Neonatal Teeth – Teeth Present at Birth or Within the First Month

🦷 What Are Natal & Neonatal Teeth?

Natal teeth are teeth present at birth, while neonatal teeth appear within the first month of life. Although rare, these teeth can sometimes cause feeding difficulties, irritation, and even ulcers on the baby’s tongue (Riga-Fede disease). Parents may be concerned about whether these early teeth affect future dental development, cause pain, or require removal.

At Tooth Fairy Dental Care our expert pediatric dentists specialize in diagnosing and managing natal and neonatal teeth to ensure that your baby’s oral health is protected from the start. Our dental clinic offers gentle, safe, and expert care to prevent complications and ensure proper jaw and dental development.

Why Is Early Evaluation Important?

Prevents feeding difficulties: Natal teeth can cause discomfort for both baby and mother.
Reduces risk of injury: Sharp edges can lead to tongue ulcers or breastfeeding issues.
Prevents aspiration risks: If the teeth are loose, they can fall out and become a choking hazard.
Monitors dental development: Ensures that permanent teeth erupt properly in the future.

🔍 Diagnosis & Treatment Options at Our Dental Clinic

Observation & Parental Guidance: If the natal teeth are stable, our pediatric dentists will monitor their growth and provide feeding advice.
Smoothing Sharp Edges: If the teeth cause irritation, we can reshape them gently to protect the tongue and gums.
Tooth Extraction: If the natal teeth are loose or interfering with feeding, we may recommend a safe, painless extraction.
Follow-up Care: Our dental specialists will provide long-term monitoring to ensure that future tooth eruption is not affected.
